Soybean Wars: Militarization, Agribusiness Exploitation, and Community Resistance in Paraguay

In the midst of a global food, energy, and climate crisis more and more people are challenging the industrialized agricultural model by constructing local and regional alternatives with a vision for food sovereignty worldwide.

Leticia Galeano, of the Movimiento Agrario y Popular, will speak about militarization in Paraguay, criminalization of social movements, local resistance to soy expansion, and about the role of U.S. agribusiness giants like ADM, Bunge, and Cargill in the soybean wars.
